"I am originally from Virginia, and I'm in the Navy, stationed in California, so I came out here to visit and came up here because it is a beautiful place," said Brandon Klock, who was spending time atop Mount Washington on Thursday.

And it was his girlfriend, Jennifer White, who took him there. She said, "I am from Pittsburgh, so I knew about this and thought it would be fun to bring him up the incline and see the city."

The Duquesne Incline, Mount Washington and breathtaking skyline views are just some of the reasons Forbes chose Pittsburgh -- not to mention its 400-plus bridges and natural beauty.

"In my opinion, romance is a sense of place. Pittsburgh provides that sense of place," said Craig Davis, CEO of VisitPittsburgh. "There is topography. You have beautiful vistas and mountains. You have water. You have bridges.”

Almost no one who loves Pittsburgh was surprised to hear it’s a great place to fall in love. Zack Logero said it's "so beautiful here. Even as a young kid, I loved it here. They have everything -- the venues, the restaurants. They just have the atmosphere for romance." And Matthew Clark agreed: "Well, it's where I met my wife, so I have to say it is."

And what are the most romantic places? Jason Logero, of Pittsburgh said, “It could be Heinz Hall, the symphony. It could be Mount Washington at the restaurants overlooking the city, or having a dinner cruise down the river.”

But Mount Washington rules.

Jason Kambitsis, executive director of the Mount Washington Community Development Corporation, says people come from all over to get married there. They get requests all the time. And in comments on WTAE’s Facebook fan page, it's overwhelmingly considered the most romantic place in the city.
